Chapter 365: Shura Finger
The appearance of the temple is not much, the luxury is the grotto, the whole grotto is like a large meditation hall, there is no Buddha statue only Arhat, the top of the cave is carved with a lotus caisson well, surrounded by four body plump, the image of the beautiful flying sky, the four walls in the cave are vertical, the lower part of the east, south and north three walls carve out up to two meters of the 29 ancestors of the Arhat of the law. An old monk who accompanied him, Jieming, said: "This is carved by Wu Zetian, and the Arhat group statue is carved according to the portrait in Fei Changfang's "Magic Weapons of the Past Dynasties" in the Sui Dynasty. ”
Yang Zhi sighed for a while, in fact, he didn't know who Fei Changfang was, but the twenty-nine Arhat statues were lifelike; the four fins were worshipping, Yang Zhi turned to the back cave, but saw three round carvings sitting Buddha, respectively, Rulai, Manjushri, and Fuxian, but what surprised Yang Zhi was that the knife marks of the three Buddha statues should not be more than ten years, and the appearance of the statues was almost exactly the same as the three Buddha statues of the Great Xiangguo Temple.
Yang Zhi asked the old monk Jieming: "I'm afraid this Buddha statue is not from that year, right?"
Yang Zhi heard the monks of Xiangguo Temple say, Xiangguo Temple had been burned in the Song Taizu Jianlong period, the current Xiangguo Temple was rebuilt after the Song Dynasty, and the three Buddha statues in the main hall of Xiangguo Temple are also the handwriting of the Song people; ”
Yang Zhi didn't want to ask again, thanked the old monk Jieming, and began to carefully look at the stone statue in the grotto, the old monk Jieming and the four fins said a few words of Buddhist scriptures, and then quit the cave;
Four fins and Yang Zhi looked around in the grotto, Fei Changfang was just an official translating Buddhist scriptures at that time, not a believer in how deep the knowledge of Buddhism was, the twenty-nine Arhats had different forms, in Yang Zhi's eyes, it was not as simple as depicted in the book, each Arhat had a full posture, especially the shape of the muscles was by no means what Fei Changfang's paintings could show, the most important thing was that Yang Zhi always felt a little familiar.
Yang Zhi carefully looked at the Arhat sculpture in front of him, guessing the reason for the action from the ups and downs of the muscles, imagining the purpose of the Arhat's movements, Yang Zhi's eyes fell on the Arhat's fingers, Yang Zhi put himself in two different roles to ponder, and finally concluded that it was a fingering move. Yang Zhi looked at the Buddha statues one by one, and Huo Ran realized that this was the fifteen fingering techniques he learned in Yanyun Palace, in fact, there were twenty-nine moves in total, but the sculpture of the Arhat was the way to inherit the past and the future of each move, and he couldn't see the changes after the shot, but fortunately, Yang Zhi knew the changes in the fifteen moves, and the remaining fourteen moves were related to these fifteen moves, and they would definitely be able to deduce it after careful scrutiny.
The eyes of the four fins are vicious, and he is more proficient in the kung fu of the Western Regions and Buddhism than Yang Zhi, and he is fascinated by Yang Zhi, but he understands that this is a kind of martial arts. Si Fin was secretly shocked by Yang Zhi's understanding, and he said softly: "This is a kind of martial arts in the Western Regions, it seems to be the legendary Shura Finger, but the Western Regions is not like the Central Plains Sect with a deep concept, and everyone who practices Shura Finger will have another name." ”
This is a bit similar to the habits of the Demon Gate, just as the Heavenly Demon Sword Technique has become the Heaven Hating Sword Spectrum when it reaches the hands of the Hating Heaven God Monarch, there are similarities between the two sword techniques, and there are also different changes. Yang Zhi nodded and asked, "What do you know from your predecessors, who is the last person to practice Shura?"
"It's rotten. According to the rumors of the rivers and lakes, there are only a dozen ways of fingering in the grotto, and there are 29 Arhat statues in the grotto, and what the rotten Toutuo has learned should be incomplete. However, there is a record in the desert temple that Xue Huaiyi shocked the Western Regions with this set of martial arts, and finally entered Chang'an to become the face of Wu Zetian, and this grotto was carved out according to Xue Huaiyi's demonstration. ”
Xue Huaiyi, a native of Jingzhao Juxian County, was recommended by Princess Qianjin to become Wu Zetian's male favorite, and was Wu Zetian's first face, and was named General Zuo Weiwei and Liang Guogong. In the early years of the vertical arch, he persuaded Wu Zetian to repair the old White Horse Temple in the west of the old Luoyang City, and served as the chief administrator of the expedition to the Turks many times, and each time the Turks retreated, Xue Huaiyi took credit for this. According to historical records, Xue Huaiyi became more and more arrogant, which disgusted Wu Zetian, so that Wu Youning led people to beat him under the tree in front of the Yaoguang Palace, and sent the corpse to the White Horse Temple in a chariot, and burned his bones to build a tower.
Yang Zhi groaned: "According to legend, Xue Huaiyi's original name was Feng Xiaobao, who was originally a merchant who sold wild medicine for a living, but was taken by the maid of Princess Qianjin and became the maid's lover; Wu Zetian asked Feng Xiaobao to cut his hair and become a monk. He also ordered to change his surname to Xue, take his name Huaiyi, and Xue Shao, the husband of Princess Taiping, as a family, and ordered Xue Shao to recognize Xiaobao as Ji's father.
Regardless of the history of the wild history, judging from experience, Xue Huaiyi is a scheming person, or has a purpose, even if he is valued by Wu Zetian, I am afraid that he will still be beating the drum in his heart, and Wu Zetian can not even care about the life and death of his son, and he will not care about a face at all. So Xue Huaiyi still wants to leave something for future generations, but Xue Huaiyi is thoughtful, there should be other arrangements, since the grotto is here, Xue Huaiyi's other arrangements will not be too far. ”
Four Fin thought for a moment and said, "Otherwise, ask those monks to see if there are any similar legends." ”
Yang Zhi shook his head and said: "After hundreds of years, even if there are legends, they are unrecognizable, and I will rely on these Arhat statues to deduce it now, perhaps a little more reliable than the legends." ”
The four fins looked at Yang Zhi and said, "You must have something to hide from me, you must know that the Shura Finger is actually a mixed martial art of a point acupuncture hand and a grappler, and it is not a simple matter to rely on personal comprehension." ”
Point acupoint hand, grappling hand, Yang Zhi suddenly understood that what he originally learned was point acupoint, and the rest of the martial arts was likely to be the grappling hand, and it was also a separate martial art, and the two sets of techniques were mixed together, which was the powerful Shura Finger. Yang Zhi raised his head and smiled: "The master is really my lucky star, and he woke up the person in his dream with a word." ”
Sifin himself was an ascetic, so he naturally knew that Yang Zhi needed to think alone, and said with a smile: "I'll go to the door to protect the Dharma for you, and you can think about it carefully." ”
Yang Zhi no longer regarded the stone statue as a simple Buddha statue, and began to imitate the muscle changes of each stone statue, and soon distinguished the fifteen stone statues of the acupuncture hand;
